HYMN 28. H. M. Triumph. [*]

The Kingdom of Christ. Phil. iv, 4.

$ 1 REJOICE the Lord is King!

Your God and King adore;

Mortals, give thanks and sing,
And triumph evermore :
Lift up the heart, lift up the voice,
Rejoice aloud, ye saints, rejoice.
2 Rejoice the Saviour reigns!
The God of truth and love;
When he had purg'd our stains,
He took his seat above:

Lift up the heart, lift up the voice, Rejoice aloud, ye saints, rejoice. -3 His kingdom cannot fail;

He rules air, earth, and heaven:
The keys of death and hell
Are to our Jesus given:

o Lift up the heart, lift up the voice,
Rejoice aloud, ye saints, rejoice.
-5 He all his foes will quell,

Will all our sins destroy;
And every bosom swell,

With pure seraphic joy; o Lift up the heart, lift up the voice, Rejoice aloud, ye saints, rejoice. o 6 Rejoice, in glorious hope;

Jesus the Judge will come

And take his servants up

To their eternal home:

g We soon shall hear th' archangel's voice: The trump of God shall sound-rejoice! Rippon

Glories of God in Redemption. Is. xliv, 23.

FA

ATHER-how wide thy glory shines!
How high thy wonders rise!

o Known through the earth by thousand signs, By thousands through the skies.

d 2 But when we view thy strange design, To save rebellious worms;

p Where vengeance and compassion join, In their divinest forms;

g 3 Here the whole Deity is known; e Nor dares a creature guess—

e Which of the glories brightest shone— The justice or the grace.

d

b 4 Now the full glories of the Lamb
Adorn the heavenly plains:

Bright seraphs learn Emmanuel's name,
And try their choicest strains.

o 5 O may I bear some humble part
In that immortal song!

s Wonder and joy shall tune my heart, And love command my tongue. Watts's Lyr.

HYMN 31. L. M. Munich. Moreton. [*]
Christ's Intercession. Heb. vii, 25.

E lives-the great Redeemer lives; What joy the blest assurance gives!-And now before his Father God,

Pleads the full merits of his blood.
e 2 Repeated crimes awake our fears,
And justice, arm'd with frowns, appears ;
-But in the Saviour's lovely face,

o Sweet mercy smiles-and all is peace!
-3 Hence, then, ye black, despairing thoughts—
Above our fears, above our faults,
o His powerful intercessions rise;
And guilt recedes, and terrour dies.
e 4 In ev'ry dark, distressful hour,
When sin and Satan join their power,
-Let this dear hope repel the dart-
That Jesus bears us on his heart.
5 Great Advocate, almighty Friend!
On him our humble hopes depend;
o Our cause can never, never fail,
For Jesus pleads, and must prevail.

HYMN 32. 8 & 7. Calvary. [*]

Praise to the Redeemer,

AIL, thou once despised Jesus!
Thou didst free salvation bring;
By thy death thou didst release us
From thy tyrant's deadly sting.
2 Paschal Lamb, by God appointed,
All our sins on thee were laid;
Great High Priest, by God anointed,
Thou hast full atonement made.
3 Contrite sinners are forgiven,
Through the virtue of thy blood:
Open'd is the gate of heaven,

Peace is made for man with God. g 4 Jesus, hail! enthron'd in glory; There for ever to abide;

All the heavenly hosts adore thee,
Seated at thy Father's side.

Steele.

e 5 There for sinners thou art pleading; There thou dost our place prepare ; Ever for us interceding,

Till in heaven we appear.

o 6 Glory, honour, power and blessing, Thou art worthy to receive;

o Loudest praises, without ceasing, Meet it is for us to give.

HYMN 33. 7s. Redeeming Love. [*]
Redeeming Love.

TOW begin the heavenly theme,
Sing aloud in Jesus' name;

-Ye who Jesus' kindness prove,
Triumph in redeeming love.

2 Ye who see the Father's grace,
Beaming in the Saviour's face,
o As to Canaan on ye move,

Praise and bless redeeming love.
e 3 Mourning souls, dry up your tears,
Banish all your guilty fears;
o See your guilt and curse remove,
Cancell'd by redeeming love.

e 4 Ye, alas! who long have been
Willing slaves of death and sin!
-Now from bliss no longer rove;
Stop, and taste redeeming love.
o 5 Welcome, all by sin oppress'd-
Welcome to his sacred rest:
d Nothing brought him from above,
Nothing but redeeming love.

o 6 He subdu'd th' infernal powers;
His tremendous foes and ours
From their cursed empire drove,
Mighty in redeeming love.

o 7 Hither, then, your music bring,
u Strike aloud each joyful string;
--Mortals, join the hosts above-

g Join to praise redeeming love. Madan's Col.

HYMN 34. C. M. Windsor. Plymouth. [*]

The Necessity of Renewing Grace.

e 1 HOW helpless guilty nature lies,

Unconscious of its load!

e The heart, unchang'd, can never rise To happiness and God.

p 2 The will perverse, the passions blind, In paths of ruin stray;

Reason, debas'd can never find

The safe, the narrow way.

e 3 Can ought, beneath a power divine,
The stubborn will subdue?
o 'Tis thine, almighty Saviour, thine,
To form the heart anew.

-4 'Tis thine the passions to recal,
And upward bid them rise;
And make the scales of errour fall,
From reason's darken'd eyes.

5 To chase the shades of death away,
And bid the sinner live;

A beam of heaven, a vital ray'Tis thine alone to give.

p 6 O change these wretched hearts of ours, And give them life divine!

o Then shall our passions and our powers, Almighty Lord, be thine!

HYMN 35. S. M. Watchman. [*]

Prayer for the Spirit. John xiv, 26.

COME

1 OME, Holy Spirit, come,
Let thy bright beams arise;
Dispel the sorrow from our minds-
The darkness from our eyes.

2

Convince us of our sin;

Then lead to Jesus' blood;

And to our wond'ring view reveal
The secret love of God.

3

Revive our drooping faith;
Our doubts and fears remove;
And kindle in our breasts the flame
Of never-dying love.
